Abstract

Calegari introduced the laminations Λu±\Lambda^\pm_u associated to a universal circle. We study the laminations Λu±\Lambda^\pm_u for pseudo-Anosov orbit space universal circles of taut foliations, on atoroidal three-manifolds. We prove that Λu+\Lambda^+_u and Λu\Lambda^-_u are completely determined by the stable and unstable prelaminations on the boundary of the orbit space. Then, using a result of Barthelm\'e, Bonatti, and Mann, we prove that for any action ρ:π1(M)Homeo+(S1)\rho:\pi_1(M)\to \mathrm{Homeo}^+(S^1) coming from an orbit space of a pseudo-Anosov flow, there is a finite collection of lamination pairs such that (Λu+,Λu)(\Lambda^+_u,\Lambda^-_u) lies in this collection for any minimal orbit space universal circle whose action is conjugate to ρ\rho.
